Carol is knitted top-down in our soft Önling No 15, which is 100% soft merino wool, sustainably produced in Italy. The yarn os so soft and itch-free and can be machine washed on a wool program.

Procedure:
The sweater is worked top down. This method makes it possible for you to try on the sweater as you go and adjust it to a perfect fit.
